tLIZE7TE EXTRAORDINARY OF THE SPANISH REGENCY. • - Sunday, Aug. s, sato. INTERCEPTED LETTERS. [Continued :from 17.3teetiayl Iv.--TO THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AVF,LIRS. " MOST EXCELLENT SIR, • • " The Count De Cessac, Minister of War, yes terday acquainted me in a note, that in obedienee. to of the Emperor, he wished to have an in terview with toe. I went to his house in the even nig, and be,employed almost the same expresslons had been addressed to me by the Duke of C:dOre, On the impossibility of sending to 'Spain the 'French Exchequef, for the expences of tie army, more_than two tuilliotls of livres monthly: !1;• complained of the large sum of money which :wci already [ken exhausted since the beginning of the :,var be stated the resources that Spain possessed, the contributions That might be raised in Jaelf; `Cordova, and other cities of Andalusia, as had been i drOdy.procured under the orders of .his Imperial Majesty in Toro, Zamora, and other places; and he' ..,Iver•e 1 to the conti , ;cdfioffiot Britisl, effeEts which .i.ight be, made in Seville and Malaga. He sheaved ate the letters, which the Intendant-General, M. ,had lately written to the Prince of Neut- Aatel, and to himself, chewing the deficiency of the - itel•tary chest" of Spain during the years 1808, and ; son, and in the present year, with the great diffi .culty.that must arise in future (no money being sent .hoene);if only two millions of.rials were afforded by the King of Spain, when the necessary expences, re , , striae(' with the greatest economy, would amount to , '1,024,000 Imes. M. Dennie says, that the defici encies of the 1808 and 1809, amount to seven' of hues, and those of the present year to ?2,500,000 litres, according IQ a statement that was ',addressed to his Majesty., a copy of which is annex 'ed. 'At the same time 1 declared, from the accounts, th , .e impossibility of supplying more to the military • chest than two millions, and the 'necesary conclu sion was, that the treasury of France should con , tribute five or six millions of livres by'the way of a lean to Spain, to answer her purpcses. " I must do M. Dennie the justice to say, that in has letters he speaks with the greatest candour, and w.thout 'the slightest' insinuation that' there was any indisposition on our part to facilitate the aid required for the military chest. Will your Majesty believe that some politicians OfParis• have presumed to say that a new revolution S,iain was preparing most injurious to the French :merest, and that the Spaniard's United ro your Ma would rise in a general insurrection againSt them ? Your Majesty. will see the 'absurdity. of, this i:onjeathre, and how - prejudicial it would be if it were to gain credit. " I trust' that such au idea will have no' weight with 'any person of judgment, and that it will imme .liately tail to the ground, from its total want of were appearance of truth._ _ - . "1' separate sepatitte tiwes I havespoken to the Prince of Neufchatel on the just complaint- of your Ma jesty against, Marshal Ney. On the first occasion lie toed me that the Emperor had nut delivered to .firm the letter of your Majesty, and he signified that lie could not approve the "condutt of.the Marshal. On •• the second he answered, that he could not at all in terfere in the htisiness: "It had been supposed here for ssme days that Ihe recent • connmotions in Holland would bring ab >ut the union of that country to the French em pirebut the present opinionls that things will not tgl to' the eitreMity. ' • "I have learned with satisfaaion, that the queen my mistress has received much behefit from the wa ters 6t Plombieres. My ladies the PrincesseS enjoy excellent health. I have heard that the Queen of Holland is alarmingly ill at Plombieres, remain as ever, with the most profound reverence, Senor, your Majesty's most humble,' nbedient, and faithful Subject, " THE DUKE OF SANTA FE. ".Paris, June 20, :314)." 03) NO. V.."•TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. ` l. MOST EXCELLENT SIR, With the lettersof 13th April and 15th May last, -that you have been pleased to forward tne, I received t:fipies of statements made by the Intendant of the • Province of Salamanca, sheaving the difficulty, - and even ihe impossibility, of raising the extraordinary etirgributions required by-the Marshal Duke, of El 'chingen, in Order that I spight take an opportunity of explaining the subje6l. I have, availed myself of these documents, as under the present date I inform his Majesty, through the' medium of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and I will interpose further in ' I he matter as occasion shall require. " God preserve your 'Sm. • it • THE Duns OF SANTA FE. . . 0 Paris, - June zo. t3to. To' his Excellency the Minister of War." Hum„ AUG, 27.

KENT ASSIZES. MAIDSTONE, AUG. 2g . Yesterday being the Commission-day, for holding the for this county, the •Lotd Chief Justice of England f iind the Lord Chief. Baron of the Ex thequer, 'arrived in this.town. They, immediately after opening , their COmmission, attended Divine Service, and this morning, at nine o'clock, Lord El lenborough,began business on the Civil Side. BANKS V. COPELAND. This was a case of- rather a whimsical nature, in which the " mouse 'might be sail to catch the trap," rather than the trap - the mouse. It was an action by one bum-bailiff against another, for false imprison ment. The plaintiCand the defendant were both Officers to the Sheriff of Kent, and both kept lock up houses in the county. It happened that a writ of ca. sa was put into the hands of Banks, the plain tiff, against the person of his brother burn, Cope land;. the defendant. He accordingly took Cope land; who insisted that by law he Lad a right to go to any lock-up house for 24 hours,_ before he was carried to gaol ;, and as he himself kept a lock - up house,•• . iiti Would go to his own .house. The plain tiff not baiug able to decide this knotty point with , out consulting Ilk books,. agreed to go with him, and- they, both we'll' to Copeland's house toge ther. Here Copeland sent his wife and son - to: get the, money for which he' was held in execution,: and about four o'clock he procured it, and paid the debt and Costs.; and . Banks and he then took/leave ; of each other. Copeland boasted anuott his - friends,' that so far from going to'Banks's house, that be bad locked up his keeper, arid, kept him until four o'clock. The plaintiff, however, upon going home,, Whether by reading, Or consultation with an able lawyer., it djci not appear, found out that he had dune what he was not bound ,to do, and that - it was a false imprisonment in his prisoner having locked him up.in his own spunging-house. So, notwith; standing they had pat tedfriends, and -that they had spent , - the day comfortably - together, for it was proved that they had passed the day by playing ".back gammon," " the devil among the tanors," smoak ing a social pipe, &C. for the honour of the profes sion, he determined to bring the present action for his prisoner having falsely imprisoned him. Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the defendant, contended that this never could be considered an imprisonment, as it was a voluntary : remaining in the house. Al though true it was, that, according to the usual, trade of the house, the doors were locked up as per gins passed in or out. Lord ELLENBOROUGH left it to the Jury to say' whether there Was any imprisonment, and if there was, what was the amount of the damage. Jury found for the plaintiff—barnagts,2o3. BRICE V. HAWKE. This was an a6ion by a farmer against the de fendant, a Rvererend DiVine, for an assault. There was ;tiaccount between the plaintiff and defendant on the score of tithes, to adjust which they had a meeting at a public-house at Langford, in this county. The deft ndant was attended by his Attorney,'a Mr. Reynolds, .who - had a writ in his pocket for the plaintiff. After some discussion, the farmer produced a book, which contained a list of the composition for tithes; this the parson wished to possess,. but the other refused to give it up: Upon this the par son seized him by the collar, gave him several se vere blows on the neck and side, and threw him down, by which he was badly bruised on the side. This was sworn- to by two witnesses, and in part . corroborated by the servant maid and the landlord, the first proving that she - heard a great noise and scuffling in We room,. and that the plaintiff called out " Bettesworth 134tesworth !" the landlord's name ; and the landlord proved, that when he came, 1 -the plahitiff was very much bruised on the side of the neck, and on the side. A,snigeon was also-called, who stated, that the plaintiff was so considerably injured, -that he was obliged to keep his bed forseveral days. For the defendant, 'Mr. Reynolds, his AttorpeY, swore, that the plaintiff was never Struck at all ;that inputting his pocket book into his pocket, he slipped off_ his chair and tell down ; that immediately re covt.ring himself, he went mit of the room, but the passage being very narrow, he fell over the stairs, and ;must have bruised himself by that fall. Mr. GAaaow, in a. very able reply, treated this story as a were fabrication, and unworthy of any credit. Verdict for the plaintilf—DamageS 601. CRIMINAL SIDE. Several persons were conviaed during the day for plunderage of King's stores. . James Dove and fillliant Smith, both workmen in Woolwich-yard, were convicted' of stealing naval stores. They were detested in coming out of the dock-yard with the articles concealed about them.. Francis Saxby, Robert illowatt, Jonathan Barrett, and James lkilliams; were convitted . of embezzling vi6ualling stores. The stores were shipped on board .the CoMmerce boy, 'for the use of his Majesty's ship Theseus, but the prisoners, who were the crew of the boy, took out part of the rum, and filled the cask up with water. . . They were all capitally indiaed ; brit on an objec tion from • Mr. Gurney, the capital part was over . ruled, and they were Requitted of the capital part, and found guilty only of. the lessernce. Saxby 'and Mowatt, the MaSter of the bound the Cus tom-house Officer, were sentenced. to be transported for seven years, and frarrett and Williams to be ,im prisoned for one year. , William Chenall,, a Man. living in good repute at Chatham', was indicted for knowingly liaving,Kipg's . stores in his possession: The Officer of Excise proved the finding a bUtter firkin, containing copper bolts, &c. in his cart. Mr. CURWOOD,. for the defendant, addressed the Jury; and stated, that he merely bad the articles to for other persons, but, from the deatii.of,his witness,. "was unable .to prove it. He was found guilty, and sentenced to , one year's imprisonment, and to be publicly whipped. : - RI) HARRIS, of No„ 4, Martlett-coirt, Bow-street zod Pubiished by WILLIAM ARMIGER SCRI * I'PS, South Moiton.street, Grosvenor square.

POLICE BOW-STREET.—EarIy on Saturday morning .the coachman, of lohit Ord, Esq. of Walham-green,..on getting up to attend to' his horses, discover,d that his master's house had been broken open, by forcing the - bars and bolts of the kitchen window ; he alarmed his master and the butler, when, on exa mining the premiss, - nothing was missed but a great quantity of plate, but tle whole Was not taken. Mr. Ord dispatched his butler and coachman to give information of the robbery at the, above Office. Pearkes, the officer, went to the house with all pos. siblo speed. On the officer's arrival he had no doubt but the robbery had been committed by parties who knew the house, and where to find the plate ; and oh his inquiry as to the state of the servants, he was informed that the footman, Thomas Hall, hadzot leave of absence for - A few days to go to see his friends at Marlborough, and that he ,had left there for London the day previous to the robbery, saying, he was going off by the coach early the nexta - norti- - Pearkes having no doubt but - he was the rob ber, set off, in pursuit of him ; he learnt that lie had been at Mr. Ord's town house in Lincola's- Lel-fields, where he had melted some pewter spoons into bullets. ' He inquired at several Coach offices whether he had gone to Marlborough early on Saturday morning, but at length fotind -a place. taken in his name, at the White Horse Cellar, in Piccadilly, to go by the Marlborough coach on' Sa turday afternoon; Pearkes, in consequence, went 'to the White Horse Cellar some time before the coach was expected to start, and found the footman sitting on a. large. new packing-case;' upon which he 'took him into custody, and on searching hint found a pair of .pistols, and some bullets made .from. die pewter spoons, and on breaking open the pacii ing- case,' it- contained the whole of the plate of which Mr., Ord ,had been robbed.. l'earkes put handcuffs on him, as he attempted to lay violent hands on .himself, but he said he would do it, as he had robbed the best of masters. Yesterday be underwent a full examination before Mr. NARES, when, all the witnesses attended, and were bound over to prosecute. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR AUGUST. The genial showers at'the beginning of last- month have brought. the corn of every description to a state of fulness and maturity rarely seen in the kindest •season in this cliinate, probably from the rains being accompanied with. violent gusts of wind, that may have prevented the atmosphere from being disposed to mildew,. a malady so injurious to corn in this . country, and which is generally preceded by showery weather. The ears of wheat are 'extremely large and pro daiive, many of them contair rp; twenty-five cle vels on. an ear, and each clevel from four to five and six corns, The straw is bright, even on , low and swampy ground. Barley is a full crop and bright, except in those situations where it has been thrown down with the heavy rains, and where it is considerably hedge grown. Oats the heavy to the hand l , and promise • to be an average crop,' even • upon the uplands. The fens and low sit - nations will be 'extremely produ6tive. Peas and vetches, where they have been well har vested, yield a great produce, and the quality fine. Beans are not large on the halm, but are well podded. Potatoes are a large crop, and the quality good. Turnips, cabbage, cbles, and all the brassica spe cies, promise a most leotutiarit crop. . SECRETS OF MASONRY .—ln a town in the west of England, and at an Inn where several people, were - sitting • round the fire .in a large kitchen, through which there was a passage to other apart , ments in the house, among th e company there was a travelling woman and a tailor. ln this Inn there was a Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons held, and it being Lodge night, several'of the•Mern bars passed through in their way to the Lodge ;,this introduced observations on .0e ptinciples (of .Ma sonry, and the occult signs by which Masons'could be known to each other. The woman said there was not so much mystery as -people imagined,, for that she herself could shew any person the Mason's sign. " What," says the tailor, " that of. the Free and Accepted Masons ?" Yes," she replied, " and I will hold.you a half-crown bowl of punch, to be Confirmed by any of the members whom you please to nominate." " Why," says he, " a wo man was never admitted; then how is it possible you could procure it ?" " No matter for that, says she, " I will readily forfeit if Ido not prove the . fact." The company urged the tailor to accept the challenge, to which he consented, and the bet was deposited. The woman immediate 4 started up, and took hold of the tailor by the.collar ; " come," says she, " follow me," which he did tremblingly alive, fearing he was to undergo some - part of the dis cipline. in making a Mason, of which he had herd such • a dreadful report. She led him into the street, and pointing to the Lion and Lamb, a-ked hint, whose sign it was; he answered, " Mr. Loder's," (the name of the Innkeeper.) "•Is itie a Free-Mason ?" " Yes." " Tiicn I have shewn you the sign of .a Free •and Accepted Ma son." The laugh was so much against the poor litilor for being taken in, that it was with some dif ficulty he could be prevailed upon to partake of the liquor. .It _always happened in drawing a Lottery of Fifty, or Sixty' Thousand Tickets, that wlien only 4000 Numbers, remained- to be drawn, and a 20,0001. in the Prize Wheel, that the price .cf Tickets sold from 60_to 100 - Guineas.
